Georgia Mother on Trial for Alleged Murder of Toddler Son

Leilani Simon is accused of killing her 20-month-old son and discarding his body in a dumpster, with the trial revealing inconsistencies in her statements.

Leilani Simon, charged with 19 counts including malice murder and concealing a death, has pleaded not guilty in the trial for the death of her son Quinton Simon.
Prosecutors allege that Simon killed her son on October 5, 2022, and disposed of his body in a dumpster, later claiming it was spoiled food.
Police and the FBI discovered Quinton's remains in a landfill after a month-long search, confirming his identity through DNA testing.
The prosecution highlighted Simon's drug use and personal turmoil, suggesting these factors contributed to the alleged crime.
The defense argues that the case is based on speculation, lacking concrete evidence to prove Simon's guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
